Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an overcurrent protection component, and more particularly to an overcurrent protection component that can extract current from a working current. Second, the prior art ^ Know the positive temperature coefficient (PTC) 7C parts of the resistance value is very sensitive to temperature changes. When the PTC component is in normal use, its resistance can be maintained at a very low value to allow the circuit to function properly. However, when an overcurrent or overheating occurs and the temperature rises to a critical temperature, the resistance value will instantaneously bounce to a high resistance (for example, 10 ohm or more) and the excess current is reversely offset to achieve The purpose of protecting batteries or circuit components. Therefore, the PTC element has been integrated into various circuit components to prevent damage from overcurrent. <Specialized, overfilled/; L-protected components include a current sensing component and two printed circuit private boards (Pre_preg, p/p). The printed circuit laminate is stacked on the surface of the current sensing element by a pressing process as the current sensing element. [M is a dull material to prevent moisture from infiltrating or scratching, and also has an insulating effect. The glass transition temperature (glass switching $(10)Cai 'Tg) of the printed circuit laminate is about 130 to 140 ° C. The so-called high Tg P brush circuit laminate has a glass transition temperature of about 17 (M8). (Between TC. When the printed circuit board is pressed with the overcurrent protection component, the temperature required for curing the printed i-layer laminate should be considered together, so the process temperature of the press-fit must be greater than the glass transition temperature of the i-layer laminate. Between 30-50 ° C. However, this R & her 1 Bu _ _ 4 d 〇 c 1260846 high heat process will make the current sensing element 千 咼 molecular positive temperature coefficient material expansion deformation 'even the printed circuit Wrinkles are formed on the surface of the electro-deposited laminate, which affects the most advanced and winter size of the overcurrent protection component. In addition, after the overcurrent protection component is pressed by high heat, 1 can be +, and the value of the suspension is It often rises to more than double the pressure before pressing, and greatly limits its application range. In addition, the 'interference of overcurrent protection components in response to the trend of miniaturization of future component design' makes the heat dissipation of components become an important design consideration factor. Traditional printed circuit Laminated plate It is expected to be in (4).5, and its: effective heat dissipation' thus reduces the service life of the overcurrent protection component and can be #度. Because &, ^: can improve the printed circuit laminate to make the overcurrent protection component There are more, ',, and 辜 丨卞 男 _ male more 铋疋 performance, and can be expanded and applied. 〃 Third, the invention The object of the present invention is to provide an overcurrent protection component, which can be reduced below The resistance rise rate before and after the manufacturing process, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the component is increased to boost the working current of the device, thereby expanding the application range. The above and the lower surface of the current sensing element are respectively stacked to achieve the above purpose, and the present invention discloses a The current protection component comprises a current sensing component, two insulating layers and two electrode layers. The current sensing component comprises two electrodes and a current sensing layer stacked between the two electrodes. The current sensing layer It consists of a positive temperature coefficient material. The two insulating layers have a glass transition temperature of 9 (M20 ° C or heat dissipation efficiency of 1-7 W/〇C. The two electrode layers are respectively connected to the two current sensing elements. The end The electrode layer is generally composed of copper metal, aluminum metal or aluminum steel alloy, a ^W〇m\H (^4 doc 1260846, which is more prone to oxidation. This is recognized by two +, several thousand) It consists of two kinds of solder joints, which are composed of two layers of the surface of the two layers, which are composed of tin alloy or tin metal which is less susceptible to oxidation, and which prevents the two electrode layers from being directly in contact with the outside and oxidized. 1 and 2 are a perspective view of an overcurrent protection device 10 according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 1-1 of the figure. The overcurrent protection component 1 includes an electrical sensing component 13, two insulating layers 14, two solder resist layers s/M, and two electrode layers 16. The current sensing element 13 is composed of a current sensing layer U between the two electrode foils 12, wherein the current sensing layer i is made of a polymer positive temperature coefficient material. The insulating layer 14 may be composed of a printed circuit laminate, resin or epoxy, and has a glass transition temperature of 90-120 °C. The two electrode layers 16 are disposed on the left and right ends of the current sensing element 13 and the two insulating layers 14 and the two solder resist layers 15. Compared with the conventional insulating layer of the overcurrent protection component, the insulating layer 14 of the overcurrent protection component 1 of the present invention has a low glass transition temperature, so that the overcurrent protection component 1 is caused during the pressing process. The dimensional change is small and the resistance rise rate before and after the pressing can be reduced. Referring to Table 1, it has been found through testing that the overcurrent protection element 10 (insulation layer having a lower glass transition temperature) of the present invention has a lower resistance value, that is, a larger operating current can be supplied.

In terms of physical meaning, the better heat dissipation efficiency can quickly dissipate the high heat generated by the high current. That is, it has a large dissipation power, which is equivalent to increasing the tolerance of the component to the current before the trigger (tnP). Therefore, overcurrent protection components with higher heat dissipation efficiency can also be applied to larger operations: j The layer 14 of the overcurrent protection element 10 is selected from the printed circuit laminate of l-7W/°Cm, the 迓 sheep Jwan; the tree 肊 or the epoxy plastic, and The results of the house-private test are shown in Table 2.
